I am big supporter of the idea of a global anti-corruption movement - but one that begins by recognizing that the architecture of corruption is different in different countries. The corruption we suffer is not the same as the corruption that debilitates Africa. But it is both corruption, and both need to be eliminated if the faith in democracy is not going to be destroyed.

Lawrence Lessig

That is how you can curb the corruption.

Atishi

If there's anything to learn from the history of movies, it's that corruption leads to further corruption, not to innocence.

Corruption appears to be a universal phenomenon that lays its own imperious claims on the world, and therefore it is the duty of all nations to prepare themselves against its onslaught by taking proper precautions.

Robert Payne

There is no swifter route to the corruption of thought than through the corruption of language

George Orwell

Corruption is found everywhere. I admit there is some corruption in my staff - not me.

Mahathir Mohamad

When you fight corruption, corruption strikes back and that is the truth because when you fight corruption, you get confidence and when it gets to impunity, then it gets aggressive and says, 'oh, so you think you are different? You think you are tough and different?' This is why some of us are almost permanently in the libel court.

Wole Soyinka
